Next Note

The Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance at Monash University is a vibrant community of performers, composers and creative practitioners.

Next Note will feature undergraduate students from across the School's Classical Performance program, including students specialising in piano, strings, woodwind and brass. 

Students develop their artistry through individual study, chamber music and a dynamic ensemble program, with opportunities to perform concertos with the Monash Academy Orchestra, play a variety of chamber music and ensemble repertoire, develop their own projects, and participate in imaginative interdisciplinary collaborations.
